Because just this week, I ended up discarding all my plans for the evening as well to do a Macrobinocular/Seeker Droid heroic run with guildies, something I literally hadn't done in years. It was fun in my case as well!Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-63181561029869160462018-02-12T18:04:05.985+00:002018-02-12T18:04:05.985+00:00I tend to tick off a list of activities throughout...I tend to tick off a list of activities throughout the week, so DvL and the daily CXP bonus often help me decide what to do during a particular session, but I end up getting through my list by the end of the week.<br /><br />I like to work my way through the dailies (once per week for the weekly bonus) and FP weeklies every week on my mains on pub side and imp side, so I’ll often pick what toon to play at a given time based on whether it’s Light V or Dark V, and whether to run dailies or FPs based on the daily bonus. However, at other times I’ll ignore DvL and the daily bonus if I just feel like running dailies on my own, or feel like running PUG FPs (probably my favorite repeatable content in the game).<br /><br />My ops group runs every Tuesday night, so like you, I ignore DvL and the daily bonus for ops.<br /><br />I’m usually working my way through other content on an alt as well. If it’s neither Light V nor Dark V, and the daily bonus doesn’t appeal to me, then I’ll often take another alt through the expansion content. The variety keeps things interesting, and I find the experience slightly different each time because each of my toons approaches the story with a different background and personality.<br /><br />Having said all that, if I feel like doing something in particular then I’ll just ignore DvL and the daily bonus. For example, the other week one of my guildies was doing the macrobinocular and seeker droid quests, which I hadn’t done in ages, so I decided to run them on an alt, and had a blast.<br /><br />Thanks for the engaging post!<br /><br />— BrendanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07810822140467125747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-15684305765357926062018-02-10T03:32:40.520+00:002018-02-10T03:32:40.520+00:00In SWTOR?

I got caught up on Ziost and did some dailies there as well as get caught up on KOTFE a couple of times, but if you mean raiding or BGs, no. I never have the time to spend raiding --the World Boss and Event Bosses notwithstanding-- and these days I'm hard pressed to fit in even a classic flashpoint.<br /><br />(The person who laughed at me when I mentioned that I was looking forward to the kids getting into high school so I'd have more free time was right. The youngest mini-Red brought all of here myriad activities with her to high school, and I've yet to see some extra free time with the younger two kids at the same high school.)<br /><br />I left a lot of stuff behind in WoW, BGs and other non-raiding endgame activities included. I've this bad feeling that when I finally do get the free time to play around the way I'd like, I'll be old enough that won't have the reaction time like I used to have.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-61671347664843911802018-02-08T20:17:25.530+00:002018-02-08T20:17:25.530+00:00Have you even participated in anything endgame in ...Have you even participated in anything endgame in SWTOR before?

I just do my thing, and there are days when "my thing" means hanging around my Dromund Kaas stronghold and watching the view of the rain.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-78785257676491114182018-02-08T00:54:21.726+00:002018-02-08T00:54:21.726+00:00"Do dark vs. light and the daily Command bonu..."Do dark vs. light and the daily Command bonus influence the way you play at all?"<br /><br />My answer to your question: absolutely not. My interests in the game vary from time to time. Sometimes i run three OPs a night, or i pvp a whole week. Then again, i level an alt, enjoy the story. Or i go and work on my achievements (Bormus on Balmorra), etc. ...<br /><br />What i do in SWTOR depends on my mood. I do GSF when i'm in the mood for it, and not, when it's activity of the day.<br /><br />Only once i was really bored, and didn't know what to do, were the activity bonus helped me, to decide.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
